Twins?
This is a bit creepy but I can't wait to watch it! Thoughts?
"Joseph Mengele, the escaped Nazi war criminal and SS physician, known as the Angel of Death, spent years doing bizarre medical experiments on twins at Auschwitz working to determine if twins held the key to building a blond-haired, blue-eyed master race for Adolf Hitler. Now a historian says he has evidence that Mengele's attempts may not have ended at Auschwitz, and that his obsession to engineer an Aryan master race continued, and that succeeded while he was on the run in South America. Deep in the Brazilian outback in a tiny town among the 80 households in a one-square-mile area are reportedly some 38 pairs of twins. Blond, blue-eyed twins. Bizarre and inexplicable, could they be the product of Mengele's machinations? Now, with exclusive access, EXPLORER goes inside the investigation; From the secret agents who trailed him, to the scientists now uncovering the facts behind the fantastical phenomenon, no stone is left unturned.

Hard to say Brit, that's why I'm interested in watching the documentary. My only guess is that he's a very famous Nazi, they are a very German community. Maybe they thought he was doing the right thing.
My point was that he must have "experimented" on the women in order for them to concieve and deliver twins. So why haven't they come forward ?
Around the time he was known to be living in Brazil.
Joseph Mengele was truly a mad man. He was obsessed with the creation of an elitist race.
I would not be surprised that he carried out these experiments.
The twin boom began in 1963, however, I am surprised that no parent has come forward to coroborate this.
It's a pretty scary thought. And what he did was pretty horrendous in Germany, I can't imagine what he got away with in Brazil!
Ah ok. I've read some stuff on Mengeles "work" in Germany. So I'd be interested to hear what the documentary has to say.
Really? No mention of Mengele in the book? I don't know, but I'm definitely going to watch the documentary.
you were expecting twins before time :D
